Sunday, February 24, 2019 19 Adar I 5779

5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

February is Jewish Disabilities Awareness and Inclusion Month (JDAIM). Join ReelAbilities Film Festival - Northern Virginia for a pre-festival screening of My Feral Heart, presented in partnership with the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia and The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington.

Synopsis:
A sudden bereavement throws Luke, a fiercely independent young man with Down syndrome, into a group home—a daunting new environment where he finds unexpected support from his feisty, streetwise caretaker and a local heir dealing with his own demons. As friendships bloom, Luke’s frustration and disappointment with his new home soon turns to wonder when he discovers a way out and begins to explore the surrounding countryside. But as long-buried secrets are revealed, Luke treads dangerously close to disaster. My Feral Heart is a beautifully realized narrative, bolstered by strong performances, distinctive cinematography,and a deeply evocative score. Open Captions available.

Admission is $5 at the door. No advance tickets.

Olam Tikvah is proud to host this community-wide program. Learn more about JDAIM online at https://www.jconnect.org/jdam.
